Do women do a better job of rationalizing their affairs?
I’m happily married to a wonderful guy and have no plans to cheat, for the record! Do women do a better job of explaining away or rationalizing things when they cheat on their husbands? It seems like men usually take the blame for such bad decisions, but women (including ones I know) often simply say that hubby didn’t pay attention and so on. A lot of people seem at least somewhat sympathetic to such reasoning. Do women get away with more of this sort of thing than men do?

it’s a double standard, men are seen as dogs when they cheat because society views them as sex driven animals. women are seen as delicate and pure most of the time so when they cheat society assumes it is because of good reason. however they basically have the same motive when cheating..and women sometimes word it in their favor better, because they are more intact with what will trigger emotion better..funny but sad

Yeah, I think women are better at excusing their actions. Its usually falls into an emotional argument. “I can’t control my feeling. I feel what I feel.” blah blah blah. Its the same as saying “It feels good so I do it.” Very self centered, but if they are willing to lie to themselves, I’m not one to stop them. I’ve slept with enough other men’s wives to know any excuse will do.

Hard to generalise on this one. Cheating is a combination of so many things. Some people cheat and feel no regret. Others cheat and are guilt ridden. Gender isn’t the indicator. A better question might be to ask men/women how they rationalise affairs. Good, thought provoking question though.

women have affairs for the attention, men have affairs for the sex. period.
